We investigate a polarization control scheme in two-color two-photon atomic ionization. Experiments employing free-electron laser or high-order harmonic generation sources have shown light polarization dependencies in above threshold ionization of atoms assisted with an IR field. These were mostly performed at relatively high photoelectron energies where the soft-photon approximation remains valid. We use here a perturbation theory approach to show the larger degree of control that can be attained when the short wavelength photon energy is below the ionization threshold. This largely unexplored energy region offers unique possibilities to achieve polarization control of the reaction.

Different aspects of relativistic distorted-wave models for electron capture in ion-atom collisions are analyzed. In particular, the nonrelativistic limit of the matrix continuum distorted-wave approximation is studied for reactions with or without change in the electron spin.

We theoretically study the photoionization of water molecules by high energy photon impact. We develop a model in which the final state wavefunction is given by a Coulomb continuum wavefunction with effective charges and the water molecule bound states are represented using the Moccia's monocentric wavefunctions. We obtain analytical expressions for the transition matrix element that enable the computation of cross sections by numerical quadratures. We compare our predictions for photon energies between 20 and 300 eV with more elaborated theoretical results and experiments. We obtain a very good agreement with experiments, in particular, at enough high energies where there is a lack of elaborated results due to their high computational cost.

We investigate different approximations in a polarization control scheme in two-color two-photon ionization by means of second-order time-dependent perturbation theory. Experiments revealed light-polarization dependencies in the above-threshold ionization of water molecules assisted by an IR field. These experiments were performed at photoelectron energies at which the soft-photon approximation exhibits discrepancies. We show that these discrepancies may be attributed to the coulombic nature of the scattering process for continuum–continuum transitions.

We analyze theoretically interference effects in the spectra of electrons emitted in the H2 photoionization by high energy linearly polarized photons. Molecular bound and continuum states are accurately described by means of B-spline basis allowing the inclusion of the nuclear degrees of freedom. One interesting feature is observed: the usual Franck-Condon behavior is not followed when the H2 internuclear axis is parallel to the polarization direction. Moreover, this is related to the fact that for this molecular orientation and under certain conditions, the electron cannot be emitted in the direction of the radiation field. On the contrary, for H2 molecules perpendicular to the polarization direction, the angular distribution of electrons is analogous to the one observed in the two slits Young's experiment.
